Other Services

Free Eye Camps:
Free National and International Eye Camps are organized on regular bases. In Pakistan we provide eye surgery facilities to remote areas of all the provinces. , Internationally we have established eye camps in the developing countries such as Srilanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, African Countries and Iraq.

Lectures and visit of Renowned Eye Specialist From Pakistan and Abroad:
Monthly we used to invite ophthalmologist for lecture and practical demonstration of latest techniques. We also send our doctors to different ophthalmological conferences in Pakistan and abroad. This project helped our senior & junior doctors to upgrade their professional knowledge.

Corneal Graft Operation:
Our survey showed that a good number of corneal blind patients are blind because of non-availability of Corneas. Unfortunately Pakistani people don’t donate their eyes after their death. So, we have to depend on other countries specially SRILANKA Eye Donation Society to provide us Corneas. For this we invited the president Sri Lanka eye donation society and his team to visit our hospital and to see its working. Seeing our absolute FREE SERVICES they agreed to cooperate with us. Now we can proudly claim that we are the biggest recipient of corneas in Pakistan.

Every month our surgeons performed six corneal graft operations. This is in addition to 30 corneal graft operations we do in the Holy Month of Ramadan.
